ABSTRACT: Quantum artificial intelligence and quantum machine
learning are based on taking advantage of the properties of quantum
physics and quantum computers, such as superposition or entanglement, to
realize difficult calculations significantly more efficient than with
conventional classical computers. In this manner, all related fields,
which may have a huge economic impact in the upcoming decades, will be
enhanced with the arrival of quantum computers and other quantum
technologies. Quantum platforms can be based on atomic systems,
electromagnetic radiation photons, as well as semiconductor and
superconducting materials. In this sense, there is a healthy competition
among them for technological developments and improvements that allow
the codification of quantum information in a robust and scalable way. In
this talk, we will pedagogically describe the emergence and the merge
of quantum computing paradigms with quantum artificial intelligence and
quantum machine learning concepts. At the same time, we will describe
the necessity of a hand-in-hand development of quantum hardware with
quantum software. Finally, we will evaluate the current possibilities of
a variety of quantum platforms to reach the desperately sought useless
and useful quantum supremacy.
